How do you make the text look like that for Windows shortcuts/keyboard keys?

Might be it's not possible. You can actually put emoji:

But there's no windows-key emoji and I see people wanting one in comment section here:

What do you mean it's not possible? You literally did it right before my comment and it's in the original post at the top.

Oh.. I thought you meant the Windows key symbol.

Just check the Raw version of the post.

That was helpful! Thank you! I Googled every way I could think of to get results on how to do that without just getting pages full of GitHub keyboard shortcuts to no avail.

The Markdown to make it work:

<kbd> Ctrl </kbd> +  <kbd> Alt </kbd>  + <kbd> Del </kbd>

The Result:

Ctrl + Alt + Del

The official syntax for representing keyboard keys, <kbd>…</kbd>, using HTML elements, produces output similar to Markdown syntax for code and commands, `…`. Similar, but not exactly the same.

HTML Markdown
<kbd>Keyname</kbd> `Keyname`
Keyname Keyname

How do you make the text look like that for Windows shortcuts/keyboard keys?

⊞ Win+Tab ↹

This is a great site. Sadly it can't detect Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows, because that key combination obviously brings up system screen, and every other app can't therefore intercept it.

@HackerDaGreat57

@Polda18 well you could just do something like Ctrl-Alt-A instead and then replace A with Del

True. It's easy enough.
